I had a little culinary adventure over the weekend, as I've long intended to try to make a Bolognese sauce, as this is one of my favorite Italian ragus. It came out pretty well for a first try, which is a shock considering that in the middle of the process it seemed like it was not even remotely coming together as expected. I then found a video of Mario Batali making a Bolognese which showed some key flaws in my technique (in particular how he let the meat cook down), so I'm looking forward to trying this again soon and getting a little more autenticità going.

I heard from a couple of readers on Android phones who hit some sort of ad redirect here last night. Apologies if you experienced this, I'm looking into it right now.
